The Rossi R95 lever-action pistol in 45-70 Government combines classic American firearm design with modern durability. This compact, hard-hitting platform delivers serious stopping power in a form factor that's more maneuverable than a rifle while retaining the reliability lever-action shooters trust. The 45-70 Gov round—a proven cartridge that has taken everything from deer to dangerous game for over a century—makes this a legitimate choice for hunters who want maximum power from a shorter platform, or sport shooters pursuing precision lever-action competition.
The R95 wears a tough black Cerakote finish on both its steel frame and 13.25-inch barrel, backed by that signature rugged Rossi durability. The integrated Picatinny rail gives you a modern mounting option for optics or other tactical accessories, while the cross-bolt safety keeps things secure when you're on the move. At 4+1 capacity, you get four rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber—typical for lever-action pistols in magnum calibers, where each shot counts.
This isn't a gun for everyone; the 45-70 Gov carries significant recoil and is best suited to shooters with experience in magnum pistols or rifles. But if you're drawn to lever-action aesthetics, want genuine hunting power without a long gun, or simply appreciate Rossi's no-nonsense approach to firearms, the R95 delivers on its promise. Weigh about 88 ounces, measurably compact at 23.15 inches overall, and built to go to work.
